The poha, murmura, and chana roasting industries have long relied on traditional furnaces to generate the heat required for the roasting and drying processes. However, these conventional systems, which typically use fuels like rice husk and sawdust, are inefficient and notorious for generating excessive pollution, particularly fly ash. Recognizing the need for a more environmentally friendly solution, Steamax has developed the Renewable Energy Combustor (REC), a cutting-edge system designed to address these inefficiencies and significantly reduce pollution.

The Problems with Traditional Furnaces

Small-scale and household industries have traditionally depended on diesel and furnace oil to meet their heat requirements. However, these old-school furnaces come with several issues:

1. Inefficiency and Pollution: Traditional furnaces consume excessive fuel, generate significant pollution, and need to burn fuel completely due to the lack of a proper air and fuel control system.
2. Poor Insulation: Using concrete bricks in traditional furnaces needs to be revised. These bricks are not designed to withstand high temperatures, leading to punctures and inefficiencies.
3. Cost Concerns: While businesses are eager to work in a clean environment, the high cost of upgrading to more efficient systems has been a significant barrier.

The Solution: Steamax’s Renewable Energy Combustor (REC)

Steamax has introduced the Renewable Energy Combustor (REC), a system specifically designed to upgrade the roasting and drying process in the poha, murmura, and dal industries to address these issues. Here’s how the REC system works:

1. Installation: The traditional furnace beneath the roaster is removed, and the REC system is installed. This system is compatible with existing roasters and requires no significant modifications.
2. Multi-Fuel Compatibility: One of the standout features of the REC system is its versatility. It is a genuinely multi-fuel system that can efficiently burn various types of biomass.
3. Hopper Feeding System: The system includes an automatic hopper feeding mechanism that simplifies fuel handling and reduces labour requirements.
4. Primary and Secondary Combustion: The main chamber, where primary burning occurs, receives air from below the furnace. A fitted pipe inside the furnace facilitates secondary burning, ensuring complete fuel combustion.
5. High-Temperature Fire Bricks: Steamax has developed innovative fire bricks that can withstand high temperatures without causing punctures, thereby enhancing the system’s durability and efficiency.
6. Air and Fuel Control: The REC system has advanced air and fuel control systems that ensure fuel burns efficiently, minimizing pollution and maximizing energy output.

The Benefits of Steamax’s REC System

Steamax’s REC system provides numerous benefits to the poha, rice, and dal manufacturing industries:

• Reduced Pollution: The REC system drastically reduces the amount of fly ash and other pollutants generated during roasting.
• Increased Efficiency: The REC system ensures complete combustion with better fuel and air control, reducing fuel consumption and operational costs.
• Improved Working Conditions: By lowering pollution levels, the REC system creates a cleaner and safer work environment for employees.
